Zahn draws a lot of inspiration from the long history of Danish industrial craft and their balanced function and form and tries to express these principles in his work. A recurring theme in his work is 'old technology'. He believes that the pace of progressing technology moves too quickly to fully exhaust all possibilities and is interested in examining and preserving ''forgotten technologies'' by repurposing them into contemporary lifestyles.
